RE: Baseball Attendance
While I agree our attendance should be better - once TCU, Texas and Oklahoma come rolling in something tells me we will see a significant attendance spike.

RE: Baseball Attendance
The old CUSA was a great baseball conference, but we've always struggled with attendance. FedEx Park helps, but we still have a ways to go.

Those are your words, not mine, Sparky. I have never said baseball is a high priority, but I think you are wrong if you are implying that it has NO importance. It is an indicator of school pride and I admire those schools which have it.

It's a Memphis thing.
Some of our fans can't seem to grasp your point. Again an inflated opinion of who we are and where we are in college athletics. And where we need to improve What it takes and means to big in the "club"

I support Memphis baseball and am sometimes part of that 500. That wasn't my point though.
My point is that nobody cares about 500. Big XII couldn't possibly care less about baseball attendance.
Also, FedExPark is small.

Uhhh...perhaps it is the 12-22 record, losing 7 of their last 10, zero NCAA tournament appearances since 2007 and a decade of mediocrity.
Blaming the fans for the lack of attendance is like Mama Cass blaming the dress.
